Description Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, the 2013 Season presents: "Remember Me."

At the end of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, a queen mourns loss of life and love – ‘When I am laid in earth’. It’s a soul-searing lament, with its haunting refrain, ‘remember me’. And in 2013 we remember the genius of Purcell, and of Britten who was so inspired by the powerful music of his predecessor.

Another thread runs through this program – the symbolism of flowers, so prevalent in English courtly life. This theme is reflected in Britten’s Five Flower Songs, Ross Edwards’ lively Flower Songs and Paul Mealor’
